The Blue Ridge Bicycle Club spearheaded a successful effort to alter a forest demonstration plan at Bent Creek Forest near Asheville, North Carolina, that would have closed more than five miles of shared-use trails.

In Virginia, the Shenandoah Bicycle Club is working with the U.S. Forest Service, Sierra Club, and roadless area supporters to develop plans that align recreationalists and environmentalists to achieve higher levels of forest protection.
